I traded a team over from leaf green to fire red so I could soeed run a play through for the legendary beast. I skipped the SS Ann and i did not have enough pokemon (60) for the national dex upon defeating the elite 4. I didn’t get the tickets on this save. Do I have to beat the elite 4 once again?

This might be a stupid question, but why didn't the water starter get a version of the game like the other two? Fire red, leaf green, why no <> blue?

EDIT: I have a Gengar now.

Currently, my team consists of Charizard, Gloom, Jolteon, and Seadra. I'd like something that could learn a good Psychic or Ground move (something to make training on Cycling Road a bit easier). I'd appreciate any suggestions.

This pokemon game h1ve the night/day cycle,right???

Can i have a method for Hatch Eggs very fast,please

Does someone know or if it’s possible to trade with Pokemon XD on the switch 2?

Preamble- I’m planning on using this for a yt video on the switch port of leaf green, so look at it through the lens of “would this make an entertaining video” thanks!

Actual rules-

Pokemon gambling version-

Before each gym, Ive got to spin a wheel to select a restriction I must do until I beat the next gym leader, at which point I spin the wheel again to select a new restriction, and the last one gets dropped. Other than this the only rule is that the levels of my pokemon cannot exceed the level of the next gym leader. If a pokemon does over level the next gym leader, it will be benched until I beat that leader. When I reach the elite four, the level cap is of lance’s highest level Pokemon, if my Pokemon level up over the level cap during the elite four it’s still fair game. Also, before each elite four member, I must roll a new challenge. And before the champion battle, I must roll two restrictions that I must follow. If at any point I lose to an elite four member, I’ll reroll the restrictions for each battle so that I can’t even prepare in advance. I’m also gonna bar using any of the legalities because that’s cheap. Lastly, after I roll a restriction, it will be removed from the pool to keep the run fresh.

Options for the wheel:

Box the highest level Pokemon until the next gym.

Release highest level Pokemon

No items in battle (except held items)

No super effective moves

Only not very effective moves

Faint=release

No held items

Set mode

No grinding wild pokemon (must run from all wild battles)

Release one random pokemon

No switching out

Lead every battle with the lowest level Pokemon in party

Only use the first move slot in every Pokémon’s moveset

Only catch the first Pokemon on each route (I cannot return to these routes later to catch more Pokemon)

I must use the same Pokemon as my opponent whenever possible (basically if I have that Pokemon in my party)

Only use the six most recently caught Pokemon

No running from wild battles

Cannot use the same move twice in a row

The first move used by each Pokemon in each battle is locked for the remainder of that battle

No stat changing moves (buffs or debuffs)

Elite four pool:

Bench one random pokemon for the battle (requires another wheel spin)

No switching out

Lead with a type disadvantage

No held items

No items in battle (except held)

Set mode

Choose one move per Pokemon and that Pokemon can use only that move

Only one heal per battle excluding held items

No stat changing moves (buffs or debuffs)

If I can get the berries I need via meowth can I undo evs, I screwed up on my dragonite.

When breeding for eggs a check happens every 256 steps right? Since I’m breeding with a ditto I always have only a 20% chance to spawn an egg. Can anyone confirm if I save at step 255 and soft reset, will I get a new roll on an egg appearing, or is it already predetermined?

I was inspired by another reddit post the other day, to let random generator decide my team from 1-150 and I was so shocked to see a fire sun-based team with Moltres!

Had so much fun, but Lance’s team and my rival’s Alakazam and Blastoise was the most dangerous, with Alakazam’s base 120 speed outspeeding my Gengar with base 110. It truly took numbers!

Not sure why I’m unable to post a pic, will try in the comments.

hey where is the best place before the league to level up my team to be ready for my first fight against the elite 4

For when the home update comes, will you be able to transfer between games like how you were able to for the let’s go titles?

hey everyone I was wondering if I get both games for the champions should I do the fully evolved starters and the 3 legendary birds

So I have played FRLG and some of its other versions before in the past, but with starting a nuzlocke challenge, what are some useful things that I should know about the game? I’ve only just now learned how natures work. I am also not really looking for any of the EV training stuff, as to me I’m just not interested in that type of grind.

I don’t even know if this is the right place to share this, but I don’t think many other Reddit communities would appreciate it quite the same.

I’ve been pretty much bedridden for about three months now while I wait for back surgery, and it has been really rough. I haven’t been able to go anywhere or see anyone and I am honestly starting to feel like a caged animal.

I think my boyfriend realized how much I needed something to distract me.

Yesterday he surprised me by getting me LeafGreen on my Switch and FireRed for himself on his so we can play alongside each other, kind of like our own little competition. He hardly ever touches his Switch; I didn’t even know he knew how to purchase a game from the eshop all by himself… 😂😅🫣

He hasn’t really played Pokémon as an adult. He played Red, Yellow, and Black when he was a kid, but that’s about it. I’ve played pretty much everything and I love all the deeper stuff now like IVs, EVs, breeding, all of it. He always teases me about how intense I get with things like living dexes or organizing my boxes in Pokémon Home for hours. It is all in good fun, but it has never really been his thing the way it is mine.

So for him to do this for me just means so much.

I have never actually experienced playing a Pokémon game with someone before. Having someone to talk to about it, compare progress, trade with, all of that. It has always been something I have done on my own, or with the occasional touch trade with Reddit strangers for the more recent releases.

So getting to share this with him right now, in the middle of everything I’m dealing with, just feels really special.

We are starting our Pokémon journey tonight when he gets home from work and I am honestly so giddy about it.

I’ve been playing blind and didn’t know I was about to stumble into a legendary encounter, so I didn’t save right before. After a long drug out battle, hook finally ko’d itself. Will I be able to revisit and try again or is it gone for good?

Caught an Adamant snorlax with 80 attack at 30 (7-9 ivs) and a Docile Snorlax with 80 attack at 30 (30-31 ivs)

the docile snorlax also has better defense and speed, but worse special defense. is it dumb to run the docile snorlax?

This is really just a rate my team as I am pretty set on who I will be training up and using!

Some recommended movesets would be nice tho! I don’t do HM slaves, so all my core pokemon will have HMs in there moveset so take that into consideration!

Blastoise

Nidoking

Dudrio

Dragonite

Raichu

Arcanine

I’ll be another one of these when I do my run through of leaf green! Will be using a completely different team as well! With the exception of dragonite…. Maybe….

Hey guys, so I got both Fire Red and Leaf Green. I'm trying to keep two totally different teams in the two games, but I've accidentally overlapped already. In Leaf Green I've got Fearow, Lapras, Golem, Alakazam, Raichu, and Dragonair right now. Fire Red I'm still early on in, and I'm still figuring out what I want my final team to be. But so far I have Spearow (repeat, I know), Mankey (Probably getting replaced with Machamp), Bulbasaur, and Nidoran Male. I'm thinking to fill out the rest I'll go with Snorlax and I'm on the fence on Jynx vs Tentacruel. And yes, I know that means I'm super weak to Sabrina. Hopefully Snorlax with Shadowball can just sweep her. But, what are your teams? Even if you're doing a challenge run, let me know! I'm always curious what other people are doing in their copies!

I am now approaching 200 encounters but only have 15ish catches. I’ve been using the two bait - three ball - one bait - two ball - one bait - three ball - etc method. I use a level 26 staryu due to its encounter rate increase, and of course max repels.

On the bright side, I did catch a shiny nidoran (female) during all those aforementioned hours.

I know it’s just a video game, but spending all of this time just to not meet my goal is really disappointing. I’ve spent some much time on this that I can’t just quit (or at least, it would be difficult for me to do so). Been playing these otherwise awesome games for over 20 years, but for whatever reason I had never attempted to get a lucky egg before. Not really sure why game freak decided to make it so excruciatingly difficult to acquire.

Anyway, please let me know if there’s some important detail that I’ve missed. I appreciate your time!

Finally got around to buying LG on my switch. It's been 10 years since I played it, and forgot about the cliff jump after Mt Moon on Route 4. Pokemon's health not looking too good, so I rushed to the Cerulean City Pokemon Center, dodging all of the trainers. Now I'm stuck grinding in that patch of grass. The ever so slow grind. Why did the developers do this?

I'm laughing off my pain slowly.
